What is a Fibonacci Fan?
This fan will project lines out into the future which are potential support and resistance. It combines the traditional horizontal retracement levels with diagonal fan lines, similiar to the Gann Fan and Speedlines studies. You select recent swing high or low pivot points and then see how price is respecting the various lines. Try several swing points and see which is best. Then stick with these swing points until price moves outside the fan lines. Depending on your chart interval setting, this could be minutes to days.
